✅ Guidelines

Submission Requirements

• Under 40 Minutes: Short films should be 40 minutes or less. The average film we feature is 10 minutes. The longer your film (over 15 minutes), the higher the bar a film needs to clear.
• All Rights Secured: We require films to have all rights and releases secured for public screening. This includes music.
• English language or English subtitles.
• Does not violate our content guidelines : No hateful or harmful content. No pornography. See Community Guidelines

We do not require

• Premiere Status : No premiere status is required, however, we encourage you to submit your film as soon as possible.
• Completion Date : There is no film completion date requirement. We don't discriminate against older films, so films created years or even decades ago are still eligible.

What We Look For

We look for the best innovative stories. We value great characters, interesting new worlds, and stories that surprise us over fancy visual effects, famous actors, or gags. When screening films, we tend to score them based on three attributes:

• Head—Does it have us thinking about the world in a new way?
• Heart—Does it stir us emotionally?
